“This works much better when I’m in water. I swear.”

And if you liked that, then I’m sure you’ll LOVE the translated version:

Why yes, that is the once-abandoned three-month-old sea otter named Ollie curled up for a nap on her rescuer Caitlin Dixon’s boots. And yes, it is actually, the cutest picture ever taken. And yes, there is a video.

 That is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Those little birds chirping sounds they make are way cutetastic!

Two baby otters at Longleat are being taught to swim in a paddling pool – by the keeper they think is their mum.

Deputy Head of Section at Animal Adventure, Beverley Allen, is rearing the infants and has bottle-fed the cute pair since they were born.

The pair, named Sumalee and Kasem, are now being taught to swim ready to return to their birth parents. As Beverley explained “I started off putting them in the sink with a little bit of water when they were about nine weeks old. Then they progressed to my bath, where I could make the water a bit deeper to let them practice their breathing. Now they’re splashing around quite happily in a paddling pool, with a few toys to encourage them to play.”

This otter understand the importance of voting, thus he voted yesterday… Although not in the mid-term elections but more along the lines of “what’s for dinner tonight” kinda vote. Either way YAY democracy.

Yikes, that ground must be littered with invisible squeaky toys.

Also, see the third one from the right, the jumping one? He is my brother from an otter mother.

When it comes to adorable animals, we’d challenge you to find anything cuter than a baby otter. It’s not just because they’re fuzzy and small, it’s that 9 times out of 10 they look completely pissed off. Take this little guy, for example. He’s not too pleased about being weighed in a container of hay, but who would? Still, we could look at that adorable scowl all day.

2 minute and 55 seconds of cuteness. Well, it’s cute until he gives his one-hour special on why he chose to play for the Miami Heat.

Mike L send this picture in to us and pretty much demanded we post more otter pictures and videos of otters in the future.

So here you go folks, an otter picture courtesy of Mike L, and we are otterly ashamed at the lack of otter pictures.
